Frances, I will miss your loving spirit being in my life. You and Clarence welcomed my family to the neighborhood with open arms so many years ago. You became one of my best friends and we shared so many moments of laughter in our joy, and tears in our grief. Home here will never seem the same with you missing from my backyard. You were always my angel in life, and in death you will be my memory of all that is good and right with the world. My thoughts, prayers, and love are sent to Clarence and all your family who will miss you so very much. May your light and love always shine bright in the lives you touched.
